In the Black Sea, one Russian surface missile carrier has been detected, which occupiers have deployed for combat duty. It concerns a small missile ship of the "Buyan-M" project, states the Southern Ukrainian Defense Forces on the Telegram channel.
As military officials have noted, this vessel may be equipped with 8 Kalibr missiles.
The statement emphasizes that the level of missile threat remains consistently high.
"Air alarm signals are mandatory for response. Forewarned means armed," the announcement stated.
Prior to this, the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine late in the evening warned of missile danger in the Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, and Kharkiv regions. After midnight, such threats were canceled, but residents of the Sumy region were cautioned about the danger of enemy missile attacks.
